Hi and Welcome to the Official Site of Soundworks.
Well, where can I start - its been a busy old year up to now, In the past 12 months I have been lucky to have toured with some of the countries top bands and groups all over UK and Europe.
In August 2007 I joined up with the Jive Aces for the Silda Jazz Festival in Haugesund, Norway for 5 days, Edinburgh the next week and then followed by Ireland. Over the past few months its been a hectic, not only.. that I have been busy with the production company but we celebrated the birth of our 2nd Child, Lacey Faith Hope - Born 6th July 2007. Thats 1 year Ago!!. As you can see I have put plenty of photos on the site for your viewing, Unfortunatly we cannot place all the event photos on the website as you would be here all-night browsing. We hope you enjoy the NEW - ALWAYS - Updated site.
